| Abstract: | In the Gikùyù culture, childless women have long been stigmatised because of their infertility. This is due to the perception that parenting and women are equivalent. They finally reach the resistance stage, which is the last step of childlessness, after going through all the stages of denial. Here, they acknowledge their position and express the resistance through language. The agency of discursive reconstruction was the subject of the paper. The study was informed by Fairclough and Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). According to critical discourse analysis, the form and intent of a text must be investigated in order for the reader to fully understand what it is saying. It also demonstrates the creation, consumption, and connections of writing to the rest of society. The study used a stratified and purposeful random selection approach to choose villages in the Othaya sub-county of Nyeri County. Karὶma, Mahiga, Chinga, and Kairῠ-thὶ were the names of the villages. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and an audio recorder were used in the study to collect data. For the FGD, twenty involuntarily childless women participated as respondents. The study's conclusions may help dispel stigmatising beliefs about childless women in the Gikùyù community. The study will be important in shedding light on important facts about the discourses used to spread linguistic stigma and how it is done. The study revealed that language stigmatises involuntary childless women in significant ways, and it came to the conclusion that these women ought to reclaim themselves by coming to terms with their circumstance and restore their identity. |
